Hello Everyone!!!

We have 10 2 week old Lavender Orpington chicks! They are [/IMG]doing great so far... Had a little scare with one. She kept her one eye closed for 2 days. I continued to give probiotics together with electrolytes (powder form). And today, 5 days later, I'm having trouble making out that chick from the others. My husband is an eye doctor and he had me also put saline drops ( BioTrue) in her eye a couple times a day and whala!! I'm so thankful she survived. Anyways, glad to be a newbie here. I've wanted Lavenders for quite some time now.

Hello from Kansas, Lavenderocks10, and ! Pleased you joined our community! Those are some really pretty chicks! Glad your chick with the eye issue is doing better!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share more pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Thank you for all the kind welcomes!! I will take more pics tomorrow and post them. They are all doing really well and growing. They are so cute, especially when they are sleeping and have their necks out.

Today they are 19 days old. When can they be sexed? I paid for 2 males and 8 females but I'm thinking I might have been given 4 males. I don't however know for sure yet. If so anyone want to trade 2 Lavender males for Orpington females (any kind)?
